I'm not sure how this one will work, haven't looked into it, but it HAS to be better...and with the knowledge of past issues that plagued the YJ...I'm confident upgrades will be plentiful and stout. Doesn't worry me.

Hell, swap to a D60 front and you won't have to worry about it


This gives some good info and views on the new axles:

Basically the CAD is electronic, and I bet it works pretty good. Still I'm sure for those that don't want it will end up being something to lock in place just like on the old XJs and YJs.

It is a good idea and it is necessary in this day and age, as long as its not a problematic failure point from the factory I think its a good idea.

Plus there will be two types of owners, those who DGAF and will leave it alone, and those that do and will promptly ditch it, lock it out, or replace the shafts with something else.
